The Grizzlies take home success at the end of a game of a thousand emotions. The home team, 16 to 7’30 ” from the siren, places the comeback and leads by three in the final seconds.

Not even a good start to the race allows the Pelicans to put an end to the long negative streak.

An edgy match ends with the success of the Nuggets who now risk losing Jokic (triple double for him against the Heat). The Serbian center will almost certainly be disqualified after the reaction on Morris. At 2’39 ” from the siren, with the result now compromised, Morris nudges Jokic, who responds with a bad blow to the back of the Miami player. A turmoil emerges, the two players return prematurely to the locker room with spirits igniting. It is hard to think that there will be no consequences for both.

Denver: Jokic 25 (10/14, 5/8 tl), Barton 25 (2/5, 7/9), Morris 14. Rimbalzi: Jokic 15. Assist: Jokic 10.

The Suns risk more than they should but eventually get the better of the Kings in Sacramento. Phoenix, led by an excellent Payne (24 points from the bench), reaches +21 at the beginning of the last quarter but lowers the level of concentration and suffers the furious return of the hosts. Sacramento also reaches -3 but the Suns manage to defend the advantage.

Sacramento: Barnes 26 (6/7, 1/2, 11/11 tl), Fox 24, Hield 14. Rimbalzi: Holmes 8. Assist: Fox 5.

L.A. Lakers-Charlotte 126-123 dts

Carmelo Anthony thinks about it at the Staples Center this season seems infallible from long distance to lead the Lakers to victory over the Hornets. Melo closes with 29 points shooting with 7/10 of three. Charlotte, after the encouraging start to the season, thus collects the fifth consecutive defeat. The Lakers recovered an 11-point lead four minutes from the end of regular time, but in extra time Davis and the usual Melo knock out Charlotte.
